The last couple of days the weather here has been my least favourite, very windy. When I went to bed last night it was howling and rain was beating on the windowpane. I've barely managed 3,000 steps a day since Sunday (I blame work lol) and, as I fell asleep, was resigning myself to another day of inactivity.
This morning was completely different. It was dry, calm and cool, Perfect. I drank a coffee, a glass of beetroot juice and lots of water and was out the door with NRC's Triple 7s loaded up and ready to go. This is one of my favourites, three 7 minute runs at 5k pace. The days of rest must have helped as I definitely had a spring in my step, it all felt easy even though I was doing a decent pace.
Once the guided run finished I was about 1.5km from home. After waiting for my heartrate to drop a little I set off for a gentle run the rest of the way home. By the end I'd covered 5km, so I got a 2-for-1 interval run and 5k and felt very pleased with myself
I enjoyed myself so much I forgot to do half my cooldown exercises, oops!
